South Bend sets no short-term-rental-specific parking requirement. Hosts and guests follow the same residential off-street and street-parking rules as any homeowner; the city imposes no guest-vehicle cap on rentals.
The city has not adopted STR parking standards, and Indiana's IC 36-1-24 bars local rules that would unreasonably restrict rentals. Guests park under South Bend's ordinary residential parking rules: vehicles must use legal on-street spaces or the property's driveway and cannot block sidewalks, alleys, or fire hydrants. Overnight and oversized-vehicle limits that apply to all residents apply equally to guests, and there is no rental-specific permit-parking program or minimum off-street space count for STRs.
Guest vehicles face the same parking citations as any resident, such as blocking a sidewalk, alley, or hydrant, or violating posted street rules. There is no separate short-term rental parking penalty.
